UNSPSC 42203710: Medical x ray film markers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a marking system for medical x rays that determine anatomical side of body, date of the procedure, and may include patients name in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical x ray film markers under 21 CFR 892.1640 and under FDA product code JAC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901780.

UNSPSC 42203710 Medical x ray film markers (Commodity) shows a narrow and inactive match to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes consumable film markers used in radiographic imaging, but the two recent opportunities posted under this classification involve occupational medical surveillance services and X-ray equipment maintenance services — neither of which involves medical x-ray film markers as a product line.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026, requiring baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry terminals. Broward County Aviation Department issued RFI BLD2132311F1 on June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, to explore maintenance service options for proprietary Rapiscan and VOTI X-ray inspection systems. Neither solicitation involves the acquisition or supply of film markers. The code presents a classification mismatch; state and local procurement activity in the radiographic imaging and medical surveillance space does not currently reflect demand for x-ray film markers as a standalone commodity.
